A- A A+
A Health Ministry official says that South Korea has confirmed a third case of swine flu.

Ministry spokesman Oh Sung-il said Thursday that final tests showed a 62-year-old woman had swine flu. But Oh said the woman has recovered from the disease and will be released from a military-run hospital later Thursday.

Oh says the woman was on the same flight as the country's first confirmed patient, a Catholic nun who returned home from a trip to Mexico on April 26.
